Dennis Elliott and Daughters Logging

If you live next door to a property where he is logging, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PROPERTY and do not give him ANY PERMISSION TO ENTER YOUR PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON, even if it seems harmless. That’s where we made our mistake.
Dennis Elliot cut down trees on our property when our neighbor hired him to log his property. As soon as I left town with my small children to keep them out of the way of logging equipment, Dennis Elliott told our neighbor that our mutual property line was six feet over into our property. Miraculously, the survey marker marking the property line had been moved.
Neither Dennis Elliott nor our neighbor contacted us before proceeded to cut trees on our property. In addition, they drove logging equipment over our septic system, destroying the leach lines and leaving us with an almost $ 5,000 repair. I did contact CDF and went through their useless process. I think loggers know they can get away with timber theft.
When we put up a fence (yes, locking the barn door after the logger stole the trees), the survey we had showed the property line to be exactly where we had believed it to be for years. We had the marker properly reset, but not in time to keep our property from being defaced.
A few years later, Dennis Elliott was back on our street logging for another neighbor. Same thing: He asked for some kind of access to the neighbor’s property and then cut down several trees on the property next to the one he was hired to log. I guess he is still in business because he makes money for people who hire him.
